Based on #5

[(Anonymous)]

What pairings do you wish were more popular in fandom? Any particular reasons why?

Re: Based on #5

[(Anonymous)]

Non-canon femslash pairings

Re: Based on #5

[(Anonymous)]

het pairings, especially problematic ones where the problematic elements are eroticized rather than being sanitized

Re: Based on #5

[(Anonymous)]

Pairings with background or one-off characters. Pairings with older characters or characters that are atypical in terms of appearances (or downright ugly). Some of the best characters are missed because of this. (Although fandom's pretty good about having one fic for every character if the fandom's super massive.)

I'd love to see more Reid/JJ fics in the "Criminal Minds" fandom. Mainly 'cause they're a favorite pairing of mine, and at one time they seemed to have a decent enough following, from what I've seen when going back through the fic archives. But they've kinda fallen by the wayside in recent years in favor of other pairings, which is odd, because there's been lots of moments and interactions between them in recent seasons that would be ripe for good fic ideas.

I like many of the other pairings, canon and non-canon, that fans will put Reid and JJ in, too, don't get me wrong-I multi-ship the hell out of the characters in this fandom in general :D. I just think it would be nice to see that particular pairing get a bit of a resurgence again, is all.

And this is a brand new fandom, so it's not like they're completely lost in the shuffle or anything like that, but in "The Good Doctor" fandom, I'm always up for more Shaun/Claire where possible. I think that fandom kinda started off liking the idea of those two, but other pairings have been coming along since then and are starting to take the lead. Again, I'm cool with those other pairings, just always nice when I can read stuff with a particular favorite pairing of mine.

Thor/Steve always. After watching IW, Steve/T'Challa.

McCree/Genji. They just make way more sense to me than McCree/Hanzo. Also, I hate Hanzo.

Oddball one, but if anyone remembers the hilariously bad but surprisingly fun League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie that came out in the early oughties, the first thing I wanted after seeing the movie was Nemo/Jekyll or Nemo/Jekyll/Hyde, on account of the entire final battle plus a few other moments between them. For some reason this seemed to be mostly not-a-thing in what little there was of an LXG fandom. Most of what I remember seeing was Skinner/Sawyer, Mina/Dorian, and generally Mina/anyone.

I mean, I get that Skinner and Sawyer were also surprisingly affecting in the final battle, and that Mina is the only female character in the movie and therefore unsurprisingly is shipped with anyone with a pulse in her vicinity, but still. I was annoyed.

Tbh I could go for more het ships where the woman is older and tops tf out of the guy. (Specifically, I could go for more Widowmaker/McCree)

Re: Based on #5

[type_wild]

Tomoyo/Sakura, Tomoyo/Syoaran, Syoaran/Meilin. The first one because it's adorable and already one-sided in canon and I love them both. The second becaues I just enjoy their friendship and wish it was explored more in general, and becaues there were a lot of time where I felt that Syoran had more on-level communication with Tomoyo than he ever had with Sakura.

The last one just because I love their dynamic and I am a sucker for childhood marriage promises and het pairings where the boy is more sensible than the girl.

Re: Based on #5

[philstar22]

Thor/Steve because there needs to be more fics. Also Thor/Steve/Bucky.

In Star Wars, Kylo/Hux has a small, dedicated fandom, but now the fandom is busy moaning one way or another about TLJ and Kylo/Rey. Just want to enjoy my ship in peace.

Just rarepairs in general. Sometimes I don't even personally ship something, but I'll write fic for it because I'm sure someone out there does.

For example, I've been working on a fic titled "Every Possible The Good Place Ship," and it's going to have 54 chapters, one for each possible pairing for main and recurring cast members!

Re: Based on #5

"Problematic" pairings in general. I don't know if it's just my specific fandoms or if it's a widespread thing or what, but I'm so tired of "this pairing is problematic and if you ship it you're a problematic person". Like, I understand that argument for pairings that glorify abuse, but for ones that involve only consenting adults, they're just a little...unconventional? Come on.

Also, ships of minor/background characters. There's a particular fandom where I shipped two incredibly minor characters who never even had a scene together mainly because of the actors. They were in something else together where they had an insane amount of chemistry but never could've gotten together because of a power imbalance, so I expected there to be at least a couple fics putting them together in this new fandom, but...nope. Not a single one.

And rare pairs. I feel like it used to be that you could find fic for every possible pairing in a fandom if it was big enough, because no matter how cracktastic it was, there was always someone that shipped it. Now it seems like most fandoms seem to stick to a small handful of either canon or just incredibly predictable pairings and it's pretty boring.

Re: Based on #5

Crossover pairings of any sort. There is something about them that I really enjoy, even when I'm not that familiar with one of the fandoms.

Questions you can't ask IRL or online non-anon

[(Anonymous)]

Because they're crude, "stupid questions" or you just don't think anyone would have the answers.

Re: Questions you can't ask IRL or online non-anon

[(Anonymous)]

Why are writing prompts so stupid 90% of the time?

"Write about a time you had lunch with your best friend." Do I look eight years old?

Re: Questions you can't ask IRL or online non-anon

[(Anonymous)]

Why do people write fic they hate the canon for? I don't have anything against it, just find it confusing as for me, loving the canon is the only reason I'd ever write fic in the first place. Am I doing it that much differently than other people?

Re: Questions you can't ask IRL or online non-anon

How can you be NB when you use the pronouns of a specific gender and dress firmly within the socially acceptable frames of a specific gender?

Asking becaues someone like this was on the news to talk about being NB.

Anyone light haired people here get random dark, stiff hairs? I especially get random ones in my mole. And they drive me crazy if I can't immediately pluck them.

One time I read a magazine article about a homeless teen who lived with her cousin (or maybe it was a close friend), but her cousin kicked her out when her boyfriend moved in. I've always wondered what kind of horrible person would kick out their family member/friend in favor of their boyfriend...

Rant/vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

So, I just got off the phone with my boss, and I'm kind of annoyed.

It used to be that I had a set time I had to be at work. Then my boss started randomly asking me to come in 15 minutes early. Which I don't mind, but there was never any reason for it, I'd end up sitting around for 15 minutes doing nothing, basically. Then it'd be back to normal for awhile, then she'd randomly tell me to come in 15 minutes early again, where I would once again sit around doing nothing. After it happened a few times, I asked her why. Her response was "I'm the boss, and I'm telling you to". Okay, but...that's not a real answer? (I didn't say that to her, obviously.) Anyway, I dropped it at that point and haven't mentioned it since.

It sounds like no big deal, but as someone who has a difficult time falling asleep, having to wake up 15 minutes earlier can make a difference. Like I said, I wouldn't mind if there was a specific reason, and some consistency, but going back and forth for no reason makes no sense.

Anyway, just now she asked me to come 45 minutes earlier than usual. I didn't ask why since it didn't go so well last time. There's nothing special or out of the ordinary going on tomorrow, and I can think of zero reason why I need to come in 45 minutes early. I can almost guarantee that I'll be sitting around for 45 minutes doing nothing, and then she'll be back to asking me to come at regular time/15 minutes early, and probably now occasionally 45 minutes early (not sure why 30 minutes early hasn't come up yet). It seems to depend on what kind of mood she's in, and I just don't understand it.

Otherwise, she's mostly okay, and the job overall is great, but this is just so weird, and it annoys me.

What are your favorite low calorie snacks?

[kaijinscendre]

I am calorie counting and trying to diversify my snacks. I am going to go crazy if I keep eating carrots.
